As others have pointed out, there is not much that cannot be done on the center stand. However, if you want to get both wheels off the ground at the same time, or pull the front wheel, pairing a Pitbull Hybrid Forklift Front Stand with the center stand is very secure at a very reasonable cost. https://www.pit-bull.com/motorcycle-stan...-f0100-100 The only time I have had to resort to other methods was pulling the front forks to install fork boots. In that case, I used the center stand plus a floor jack under the engine, with a wood block between the jack and engine.
A motorcycle lift may work with the standard CB1100, as it looks like the lift platform could could access and lay across both bottom frame rails from the left side of the bike. I dont think a lift will work with the Deluxe, EX, and RS models, because the twin exhaust sits lower than the frame rails. If any of the members have found that not to be correct, please feel free to correct me, as I am going by what I see and have not actually tried a lift on a twin exhaust model.
